Refactor Java code safely — and automatically — with OpenRewrite.

Refactoring big codebases by hand is slow, risky, and easy to put off. That’s where OpenRewrite comes in. The open-source framework for large-scale, automated code transformations helps teams modernize safely and consistently.

Each month, the creators and maintainers of OpenRewrite at Moderne run live, hands-on training sessions — one for newcomers and one for experienced users. You’ll see how recipes work, how to apply them across projects, and how to modernize code with confidence.

Join the next session, bring your questions, and learn how to automate the kind of work that usually eats your sprint time.

In distributed systems, managing multi-step processes (e.g., validating a driver, calculating fares, notifying users) can be difficult. We need to manage state, scattered retry logic, and maintain context when services fail.

Dapr Workflows solves this via Durable Execution which includes automatic state persistence, replaying workflows after failures and built-in resilience through retries, timeouts and error handling.

In this tutorial, we'll see how to orchestrate a multi-step flow for a ride-hailing application by integrating Dapr Workflows and Spring Boot:

Spring AI is a comprehensive framework for building AI-powered applications on the Spring platform, providing abstractions over language model providers. It enables Java developers to integrate conversational AI, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic workflows into their applications using familiar Spring patterns.

This curated series provides a practical guide to building AI applications with Spring AI, from core chat and memory concepts to advanced patterns like RAG pipelines, custom advisors, AI agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration.
